In 1986 CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather was attacked by 2 men. As he was being punched and kicked one of the attackers kept shouting “Kenneth, what is the frequency?!” As leads on the attackers went cold, this seemingly random act of violence was chalked up to mistaken identity. When REM released the single “What Is The Frequency, Kenneth?” in 1994, there was a renewed interest in the case, but there were no additional leads, until the shooting of an NBC employee would bring out a confession. This week, we’ll discuss who the man that attacked Dan Rather was, if this really was a case of mistaken identity, and what was meant by Kenneth, what is the frequency?
